We’ve heard a lot of analyst and supply chain scuttlebutt over the past year about the MacBook Pro folding into the MacBook Air lineup, or the MacBook Air outright supplanting the entire MacBook spread.
Power-wise, the Air’s already closing in, packing considerable power under the hood—enough to get me to switch one for the other. I …
So these Windows-based “ultrabooks” we’ve been hearing about recently should be making their way to consumers in time for the holidays. The promise: MacBook Air-like design and portability, but with cheaper price points and, of course, Windows.

And while we’ve seen a teaser image of …
A bit of Apple news for you this morning: MacRumors is reporting that Apple is late-stage testing a new 15-inch, ultra-thin laptop with features similar to the MacBook Air; TUAW is betting that it’s going to be a sveltely redesigned MacBook Pro.
Currently, MacBook Airs are available in 11.6-inch and 13.3-inch sizes with a starting …
The promise of Windows-based “ultrabooks” is an intriguing one. They’re coming later this year and they’ll sport super-thin, super-light designs similar to those found in Apple’s MacBook Air line of notebooks.
As Windows machines, there may have been an expectation that they’d cost less than similarly-outfitted MacBook Air models. …
When Steve Jobs unveiled the first MacBook Air at Macworld Expo back in January of 2008, he induced lots of oohs and aahs over its astoundingly thin case. I don’t, however, remember many people declaring that it was Apple’s first pass at building the garden-variety Mac of the future. I sure didn’t–in part because I was too busy …
With little more than a noiseless digital “rawr” and an abrupt homepage image swap, Apple’s Mac OS X 10.7, codenamed “Lion,” is now officially available via the Apple Store—make that the “Mac App Store” that lives on recently updated “Snow Leopard” Macs, not to be confused with Apple’s online web store, an actual Apple retail store, or …
Let’s be honest: no one has much of a clue when Apple’s planning to release OS X 10.7 Lion, Cupertino’s latest mammoth overhaul of the company’s Mac operating system. Sure, we know it’ll be sometime this month, which is what Apple’s been saying for weeks—unless the company changes its mind, which, let’s not get ahead of ourselves, it …
Everyone’s expecting Apple’s digitally downloadable OS X Lion to magically appear on Thursday this week, and we’ve heard plenty about new MacBook Airs to coincide with Lion’s launch, but what’s this about new Mac Pros?
No, not MacBook Pros—those were just refreshed in February 2011—but yes, Mac Pros, Apple’s monster metal …
If you’re one of a handful of lucky dev folks who got their hands on the OS X Lion upgrade early, nice job!
But for the general public, 9to5 Mac and Apple Insider have both gotten confirmation from several Apple retail employees that there’s an overnight scheduled on July 13th to freshen up their stores, likely indicating a July 14th …
Got your Apple rumors hat on? Got your Apple rumors cup of coffee in hand? Excellent. Now you’re all ready for today’s Apple rumors.
Rumor 1: Apple is releasing new MacBook Airs made entirely of air, no actual atoms required. Rumor 2: your pocket-sized friends of the future, the iPhones 6, 7 and 8 are all under pre-pre-pre production …
I’m ready for my upgrade, by which I mean from a well-worn early 2010 13-inch MacBook Pro to a shiny new Thunderbolt-equipped 11.6-inch MacBook Air—if Apple does right by me spec-wise with its imminent MacBook Air refresh, anyway. The latest rumors (per DigiTimes) don’t tell us much about what to expect from Cupertino’s ultraportable …
Ready for the next round of MacBook Airs? It sounds like Apple is, namely that Cupertino’s placed orders for nearly 400,000 ultra-light laptops, due to enter mass production this month.
AppleInsider plucked the rumor from an “accurate” security analyst, who told the Apple news-watcher that Cupertino had placed orders for 380,000 Sandy …
